Magnetic Forces and Fields

Current and Magnetic Field Around a Wire

Description

A current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field around it, and moving charges feel a force in that field. Because the magnetic field produced by moving charges is proportional to current, the wire itself acts as a source of magnetic field. A compass placed near the wire shows this effect by lining up tangentially around the...

Considere una brújula colocada cerca de un conductor portador de corriente. La aguja experimenta una fuerza y se alinea tangencialmente a un círculo alrededor del conductor. Por lo tanto, se forman bucles concéntricos de campos magnéticos alrededor del conductor.

La dirección del campo magnético generado por el conductor se puede determin...
